Lockheed UC-85

[otftch]

Here is a Lockheed Orion impressed by the Air Corps for service as a light transport in WW II. I always wanted to build an Orion but had no place in my collection untill I found the photo of this plane. I believe there was only one used by the Air Corps. The kit is from Special Hobby and is 1/72 scale. Nice little kit that went together very well.

Great minds think alike
